The company is question is Mojang and being a gamer myself, I know they have a very dedicated following and very open compared to other traditional companies. Short of a massive screw up, I'd doubt they'd go 'bust' easily.
If you had shares in the company, wouldn't you care more and push even harder? That's the point I'm getting across.
- rufus_t 15y agoPush harder for what, exactly? In my experience, the best game developers are primarily motivated by their desire to create awesome games and their motivation level is already maxed out. Some see shares and other bonuses more as a sign of distrust than as a motivator, as if their dedication to awesomositude is being questioned. Besides, awesomest isn't necessarily most profitable, so if you encourage your team to optimise for profit, there's a pretty big risk that the awesomeosity output rate will drop. With time you might even end up with a team churning out click-grinding Skinner boxes, which is not very awesome at all.
